Decor-a-Boards from Pop Ink

Buckstop Pop Ink Decor-a-Board

I’m pretty super in love with these Decor-a-Boards from Pop Ink via French Paper. They’re kitschy, rustic and vintage pop art at the same time.

I especially love the  Jesus, beaver, squirrel and horse ones!

Here’s just a bit of sunny 60s pop to pull you out of those winter doldrums…  some of my favorite singers are in this Gigi project!
